POL upper tubular a arms- did I install them correctly?
I bought these several years ago and installed them, but they didn't come with any directions, and there is no tech articles on POL's website that show installation of these. I haven't had the truck on the road yet, so I haven't had the front end aligned, but I keep wondering if I put these on right. I guess they could be installed about four different ways! Any thoughts if these are on right?

Just looking at the pictures its hard to tell. Almost looks like the may be swapped side to side. A caster measurement would tell you quickly.

I know visually, it looks like the top of the tire is tilted outward more than the bottom. I can only adjust it outward, no way to bring it in more.

Comparing to stock, it seems like you have them correct. It seems the "straighter" side is to the front of the truck. The more "bent" side is to the rear.

Top in or out is camber. The tilt of the top of the spindle is caster. Needs to be 4 or 5 degrees positive and that moves the top to the back of the truck.
